Mare-Rouge, Northwest | Haiti
Project summary
This sub-project to "construct 1,000 linear meters of concrete strips (Ravine Rose-Caporal axis from Carrefour la Judée to Mare-Rouge)“ is part of a collaboration between AHAAMES and HELVETAS via the project ”Support for the Implementation of the Management Plan for Unit 2 of the Pines Forest National Park," funded by the SDC and implemented by HELVETAS-ANAP/MdE.
AHAAMES has been commissioned for the period from April 27 to September 27, 2020, to carry out the construction of 1,000 ml of road, which should contribute to the promotion of ecotourism in this protected area.
PROJECT ACHIEVEMENTS: RESULTS, INDICATORS, AND ACTIVITIES
- Improve access to the road leading to Mare-Rouge, a locality in Unit II of the pine forest, by installing infrastructure such as concrete strips 1 meter wide and 20 cm thick, 40 cm shoulders, 3-meter solid concrete slabs, and possibly gutters;
- Make technical proposals including, in addition to the concrete strips and solid concrete structures already proposed in the mandate, other types of infrastructure such as rock paving, taking into account the reality on the ground and the means available.
